Tips for each letter
- D
- Joining D to the next letter. Capital D stands alone in school cursive.
- a
- Leaving the top open, so a looks like u. Close the circle before you slant down.
- n
- Pointy tops that make n look like u upside down. The humps are round on top.
- i
- Stopping to dot the i in the middle of a word. Finish the word first, then dot.
- e
- Making the loop too big, so e looks like l. The loop stays below the midline.
- l
- Making the loop so thin it disappears, so l looks like a tall i without a dot. Keep the loop open.
